Integrating STEM into the K–12 curriculum is imperative. This course, STEM for All, outlines the value of integrating STEM into the curriculum at each grade level and offers examples of STEM integration in the classroom and through co-curricular opportunities. This course also emphasizes that STEM integration needs to move beyond the math and science classrooms and students who seek it out. Educators need to make sure STEM concepts are accessible to all students, including those who are presently underrepresented in STEM-based careers. STEM components need to be a part of curriculum and assessments to ensure success outside the classroom. STEM competency is essential and should be encouraged and accessible to all students in all arenas.

Please Note: This class satisfies the STEM requirement for certificate renewal.
